Towards DH and GeoDiRT taxonomies

Posted by SIGadmin on Monday, 11 November 2013

Led by Quinn Dombrowski at UC Berkeley, Project Bamboo is undertaking a reorganization of its resource listings, along with many other new developments. One early step has been the creation of a "Taxonomy of DH Research Activities and Objects." A draft document was made public this past summer and comments closed September 27th. Quinn is taking a brief pause in the process until early next year, but shared the draft and comments with us (SIG co-chairs, yours truly and Kathy Weimer), and we have begun figuring out where the geospatial lives in the taxonomy.

We identified the following "activities and objects" that seem to fit throughout the draft document, distributed within half of its 48 categories. We will be asking SIG members to weigh in once the DiRT taxonomy is finalized particularly. In the meantime, what is missing here?
